Edmonton's Homeless Crisis: Shelter Capacity Debate
•
Edmontons homeless population, estimated at around five thousand, has officials debating shelter capacity. Despite unsheltered individuals and emergency spots totaling one thousand eight hundred sixty-six, emergency shelters arent full. The city council voted to fund extra daytime shelter areas, while the province argues it funds over two thousand twenty-four-seven spaces. Advocates suggest the five thousand figure might be low, as it only tracks service users. Mayor Andrew Knack clarified the citys push is for supplemental warming and drop-in support, not replacing provincial work. As winter winds howl, these talks continue, and a cozy escape might be just whats needed. Checkout Solipillow.com
